Where to stay
Per SF Travel, Union Square has most major hotels and the best transit links, with easy transit to Chase Center and the opera (note the Powell BART entrance closure at 4th and Market from Monday). Mission Bay is closest to Chase Center for Monday's Warriors game, but SoMa waterfront and Embarcadero hotels sit inside Wednesday's parade closures; the Mission puts you on Monday's procession route but expect evening closures. https://www.sftravel.com/neighborhoods
Assumptions and refresh
- Public data only, from pages opened Mon Nov 2, 2026, around 6:10 am PT: NWS forecast and alerts, Caltrans District 4 news (nothing newer than Oct 30), the SFMTA travel updates index and parade page, and the BART advisory page. Other items carried from Sunday's briefs. Nobody was contacted and nothing was signed up for.
- This is a snapshot. BayAreaDailySync refreshes it every 8 hours (6 am, 2 pm, 10 pm PT).
- Times are Pacific standard time. Prices only where a cited page lists them.
Not verified
- Yelp ratings (blocked) and Michelin pages (not re-opened; restaurant notes carried).
- Ticket prices for the Sharks and Warriors games. Game times match a public schedule feed this morning but the team pages weren't re-read.
- Warriors vs. Miami Heat on Thu Nov 5 shows on a schedule feed but wasn't confirmed on nba.com, so it's left off the list.
- Valkyries parade details: SFMTA still says they are being finalized; organizer page not opened.
- Día de los Muertos details come from SFMTA; organizer page not opened.
- Election Day polling hours not checked.
- Fares, Lyft Bike, Lime and Spin pricing and SFO notes not re-checked; restaurant hours not checked.
- Muni reroutes and SF street closures come from SFMTA event pages; SFMTA's live alerts widget wasn't displaying this morning.
